A/n: Lets just pretend like ambers face never got burned and basically melted off okay? Okay!

It had been 3 years. 3 years since Amber and Richie decided to terrorize Woodsboro. 3 years since Amber Freeman died. 3 years since Tara has been without Amber. Lets just say, she still wasn't over what happened. She missed Amber so much, she knew that Amber wouldn't do anything to hurt Tara, or anyone actually. Something must have happened, and Tara was being torchered not knowing the whole story.

Tara was now 20. She was living in New York with Chad and Mindy. Her life was finally coming together and being normal-ish again. "Hey Mindy im going to go get coffee and study, want me to bring you back anything?" Tara asked and she slipped on her jacket. "No thanks, I'm good. Thank you for offering though." Mindy smiled, and went back to typing her paper.

Tara walked down the street bumping into random people trying to reach the coffee shop. Lets just say she was still short. She finally got to the coffee shop and pulled open the door. She tried multiple times before realising it was a push door. "Oh." She let out. She got inside and looked over at the counter to see one of the workers laughing at her. The worker looked oddly familiar. "What are you laughing at?" Tara raised an eyebrow. "You obviously. There is literally a sign on the door that clearly says 'push not pull'" the girl said. Tara's face got red and she turned towards the door seeing the sign. "My bad." She said. "You're all good, what would you like?" Tara stopped and looked at the sign, her face lit up. "I would like a black coffee with 2 suger packets please." She said. The girl laughed. "What now?" Tara questioned. "Nothing, one of my old "friends" used to order that exactly." Tara rose an eyebrow. "And what would their name be?" Tara asked. "And why would I tell you that kind of information?" The girl asked. "I dont know." Tara said plainly. "Her name was Tara..Tara Carpenter." The girl said. Tara looked up quickly and took a closer look at the girl, she finally realised who it was. "No fucking way.." Tara mumbled.

"What? What is it?" The girl said. Tara looked at the girls nametag. It read, "amber". How did she not notice her nametag before? Tara looked back and forth between the girls nametag and her face. "I thought you where dead..?" Tara questioned. Amber looked at Tara confused, until she realised. "Tara?" Ambers eyes widened. "Thats my name isn't it." Tara said. "I- im so so sorry, I just.." Amber stopped. "Come here.." Tara said. Amber slowly walked around the counter and up to Tara. Amber expected to get slapped in the face or something, but instead she felt arms wrap around her waste. "I thought..I thought I lost you, Amber.." Tara said choking back tears, until she couldn't hold them in anymore. Amber was surprised Tara was even saying her name after what she did. Let alone hugging her. Amber hugged Tara back tightly and they both let go and looked each other in the eyes. Tara grabbed ambers face and softly kissed her lips, she pulled away but amber pulled her back in. They broke the kiss, neither of them knew what to say. "Can you..come to my apartment?" Tara asked. "Its okay if you can't, I get you have work and everythin-" Amber cut Tara off. "Of course I can, lets go." Amber said and they walked out of the coffee shop.

"Okay, before we go inside I need to warn you.." Tara said. "I kind of live with Mindy and Chad now, and I don't know how they will like..react." Tara said. Amber nodded in response. "They have every right to hate me, and you do to." Amber said beginning to tear up, Tara quickly wiped them away. "I don't hate you, I never did and I never will. I just need answers." Tara said seriously. Amber nodded. "Okay." Was all Amber said. Tara opened the door and lead amber inside. Amber and Tara where standing in the doorway. "Stay here for now, I'll go get them." Tara said and she walked off.

"Mindy, Chad?" She raised her voice. "In here!" Chad said from inside his room. Tara opened the door, they where playing uno. Tara gasped. "You're playing uno without me?" Tara said. "Yeah. Im winning, like always." Mindy said proudly. "Well, I need to show you guys something. You have to promise me you wont freak out." Tara said. "No promises." Chad and Mindy said at the same time. "Come here." Tara lead Chad and Mindy to the doorway where Amber was. They both gasped. "What the fuck?!" Chad yelled. "We thought you where dead?!" Mindy also yelled. "Guys please don't yell." Tara shushed them. Mindy walked over to Amber and stared at her. She put a hand on her face and amber just stood there. "Mindy what are you doing?" Tara asked. "I'm cheaking if shes real and im not dreaming." Mindy said. "Okay, shes real." Mindy said. Then she harshly punched Ambers arm. "You're an asshole." Mindy said. "But I know Tara wants answers, so I won't kill you..yet." Mindy said, and she backed away slowly. Chad just stood there and glared at Amber. "Shes not staying here tonight. She still killed my girlfriend." Chad said. "And the rest of our friends, and almost you, Tara!" Mindy said. "Shut up! Ok just shut up." Tara yelled and they went quite. "I get it okay, just give me 1 hour with her. Alone." Tara said. Chad and Mindy just stood there. Mindy rose her eyebrows. "Oh, you want us..you want us to? Yeah ok. We'll be back in an hour." Mindy said as she pulled chad to the door and they left.

Amber sighed as Mindy and Chad slammed the door behind them making Amber jump. "You okay?" Tara asked. "Yeah I'm fine." Amber responded. They both went silent until amber broke it. "I want to give you answers. I want to tell you everything that happened that night and leading up to that night." Amber said. Tara nodded and walked over to her bed patting a spot next to her signaling amber to sit down, which she did.
"Before you tell me anything, all I want to know right now is how you survived. I thought I- shot you.." Tara said feeling guilty about what she was saying. "You almost did. You missed though, but I figured since Richie was dead I didn't have to go through with his stupid plan anymore. So I faked my death and moved here." Amber answerd, honestly.

"Okay..well that leads me to my next question. What did Richie do to you. Why did you have to do that plan that night." Tara looked down as she asked. She couldn't bring herself to look Amber in the eyes. "Richie threatened me, or more like you.." Amber said. Tara looked up at Amber and furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Richie would...he would like-" Amber tried to tell her, but she couldn't get the words out. Tara held onto Ambers hand. "You can tell me, I know it wasn't your fault. And Richie is dead. He cant hurt you or me anymore." Tara said. "Richie, he sent me videos of him.. Outside your house. He threatened to hurt you if I didn't do what he asked. He used me to do his stupid plan and kill everyone. He didn't do shit, I did all the killing. Thats why its my fault, and why I'm dangerous. I don't ever want to hurt anyone again, thats why I isolated myself and didn't come back to you.." Amber said, she didn't even realize she was crying. Tara was in shock and didn't say anything. "Amber I know you, the real you. I missed you so much and it wasn't your fault. These three years have been the hardest three years of my life, I realized that I couldn't imagen my life without you. I couldn't see myself going on without you with me." Now Tara was the one crying. Tara laughed at herself. "Sorry" she said as she whiped her tears away. "I just missed you so much." She said. "I promise I'll never leave you again. Ever." Amber said. "I love you.." Tara said, nervous for the response. She didn't know if amber still felt the same way about her like she did 3 years ago. What if she had moved on and found another girlfriend? "I love you too." Amber said. Tara was taken out of her anxious thoughts after Amber said that.

"Can you stay the night? Please." Tara asked after about a minute of silence. "Didn't Chad say I couldn't stay over?" Amber asked. "I love Chad, but I dont give a fuck what he thinks right now. You're staying. Only if you want to of course." Tara said. "Of course I want to." Amber smiled.

Tara scrolled through her phone while laying next to Amber. It had been an hour but Chad and Mindy still weren't back, Tara was beginning to get worried. "Where are they?" Tara said while walking over to the window looking for them. "They're probably fine, they are grown adults you know." Amber reassured. "Yeah, you're right." Tara said. Amber scrolled through her phone, she found an old picture she posted of Tara in highschool and smiled at it. "What are you smiling about?" Tara grinned. Amber turned the phone to her." Tara's eyes widened. "I remember this." Tara smiled.

Tara gave Amber back her phone and then went next to her on the bed

Tara gave Amber back her phone and then went next to her on the bed. About a minute later they heard the door unlock. "Hey Tara, amber." Mindy said. "Sorry we took so long, we ran into someone." Chad said. "Oh really? Who?" Tara asked. "Hey." Said someone behind Chad. Tara furrowed her eyebrows. "Chad fucking move I can't see her." The girl said as she pushed past Chad. Tara and Amber's eyes widened. It was Liv. (Since I brought Amber back I thought it was only fair to bring Liv back.) "Liv..oh my god what- how-" Amber studderd. "I should be asking you the same thing ghostface." Liv said. "Liv don't please, I just talked with her, we'll explain everything to you guys later." Tara said. "Bitch I missed you." Tara turned back to Liv and hugged her. Liv didn't hesitate to hug back, it was hard to be mad at Tara. She was so loveable. "I missed you to." Liv said rolling her eyes.
